If a readdir call returns more data than we can fit into one page
cache page, then allocate a new one for that data rather than
discarding the data.

It doesn't look like this handles uncached_readdir.  Were you planning
on addressing that somehow, or should we think about something like
this to move dtsize up as a parameter to nfs_readdir_xdr_to_array(),
and force uncached_readdir() to 1 page:

Actually for uncached readdir, I was thinking we might want to convert
nfs_readdir_xdr_to_array() and nfs_readdir_page_filler() to take an
array of pages + buffer size.
IOW: convert uncached_readdir() to allocate an array of pages, and pass
in a 'struct page **' + a buffer length.

I don't like the idea of passing in a dtsize because that restricts the
size of the READDIR RPC request buffer instead of restricting the
number of entries the server returns. For any given buffer size, that
number of entries fluctuates wildly depending on the filenames in that
directory and their differing lengths, whereas your page can take a
fixed number of entries irrespective of the filename lengths (in fact
it can always take 127 entries on an x86_64).

It is true that the number of entries that nfs_do_filldir() can handle
also depends on the filename length, but we don't have any information
in the filesystem about the buffer size that was passed in to the
getdents() system call of how much space remains in that buffer. All
that information is hidden in the opaque 'struct dir_context'. So for
that reason, we can't use that information to set a dtsize either.

Yes I agree and this looks more like the right way to fix it rather than
this single page approach.
